Burned on the Rail.
Chicago Herald.

Within the last six months about one
hundred men and women have been
burned to death in railroad cars in the
United States. The latest casualty has
roll of not less than fifty victims, most of
them roasted beyond the possibility OF
Identification, notwithstanding the fact
that they were hurled into river before
the usual confagration starting at the car
stoves began. In the accidents which
preceded this one several people were re-
duced to ashes, O wire hustle marking the
place where g woman was cremated, and
a tobacco box or bunch OF keys signify
ing the spot where man perIshed like a
pi-ce of pine wood.
The call appears TO be growing louder
and louder, but so far as heard from no
move has yet been made anywhere to see
if these frightful disasters cannot be
avoided. In many OF the states the rail-
roads have taken care to have legislation
limiting their liability for killing people
to $4,000 or $4,000. With good luck they
will not burn more than g dozen or so in
single year, and the adoption of modern
ideas as to heating would cost more
money than they will have to pay for any
ordinary batch of fire victims. This
probably explains the slowness with
which the question of doing away with
the car stove is taken up. The attention
OF legislatures should be called to the
matter once again.

a TAILOR has been said to be but the
ninth part of man, but there is an ad-
mirabie opportunity for this abused class
to prove their full attainment to mans
estate if they are equal to the occasion.
If as body they would concertedly de-
clare against the hip pocket, and con-
struct the breeches in accordance, long
stride would be made in civiliZing those
who arrogantly claim the nine ninths.
IL is vain to legislate against carrying
weapons as long as this convenient re-
ceptacle is provided, and to the tailors
must the country look for help in this
matter. Let the hip pocket disappear,
and there will be much less temptation
for concealment Of weapons, and the
want of concealment will facilitate the
discontinusnce of carrying them. The

CATTLEMEN'S CONVENTION.
a Plan for Fighting Monopolios PROPOSED
at tho Denver Me citing.

at tho Denver Me Getting.
DENVER, Col Feb. 10.-At to-day's
session of the International Range Con-
vention several papers on the cattle in
dustry and the best methods to conduct
it were read. A resolution was adopted
demanding a retrenchment of expenses
in dressing and shipping beef cattle.
1t provides for tae appointment OF a
committee of three to confer with eastern
commission houses with view of obtain
ing uniform rate of % cents per head
for the sale of range cattle.
A paper from the Retail Butchers Pro-
tective Association of Brooklyn was read,
denying that they were responsible for
the high price OF beef and declaring that
their association desired to act in har-
mony with the Range Association.
Mr.. j. J. McGill of Cleveland was
called for and read short address on
monopolies, stockysrd concerns and mid
dlemen, in which he laid the troubles OF
the cattle growers in not receiving just
prices for their cattle at the doors Of
these middlemen. His plan for meeting
these monopolies was organizing an i'm
mense corporation, with capital of
500, 600, 900, to be participated in
BY the stock raisers of the United States
which should market and butcher all
the stock raised in the United States, and
conduct the selling Of all beef direct 10
the consumers. The explanation of his
scheme was listened to with marked
attention, and the close of the address
was marked by warm applause.

THOUGH England has abundant mines
of hematite ores Of excellent quality her
steel manufacturers find it convenient to
import considerable quantities from
Spain. As they pay no duty on their i'm
ported ores this gives Them decided
advantage over the steel manufacturers
of the United States. On account Of the
difference made by the tax on the cost Of
ore, competition OF American manu-
facturers with their European rivals in
the open markets of the world is out of
the question.

A RAILROAD COMMISSION.


Elsewhere in THE GAZETTE will be
found the substance of Mr.. Waldo's
statements before the House committee
on internal improvements, as reported in
the Austin Statesman. Mr.. Waldo's
statements are entitled to consideration.
The railroads are not public enemies but
constituents of our Industrial and mer-
camille economy. THE GAZETTE is not
opposed to railroad commission per Sc,
nor does it doubt the right of the people
to control and regulate, to their own pro-
lection, all creations of their laws. But
THE GAZETTE seriously questions the pol
icy of this time of exercising that
power which will never rest in
the hands of the people, and may be put
in force at any time. And THE GAZETTE
is not convinced that such regulation is
at this time needed or demanded by the
people of Texas.
For years every northern and eastern
outlet from Texas was in the hands of
one corporation-of really one man.
While this state of things existed rail
roads were carrying people from the
overcrcwded east to the waste places of
the west at rates reduced to the min
imum by competition. Texas had,
practically, no competing lines
into her borders, the one corporation
that had the monopoly was doing very
well, and Texas suffered. At this time
there is boom in railroad building in
the state. Competing lines from the
north are coming this way, and others
are masking preparations to follow. Texas
is now promised competition that will
result in the future in efforts to bring
people to the state. And not only
this, but sections long without
railroad facilities are now prom
Used the benefcent agency of railroads in
developing wealth hitherto lying idle in
the ground. Railroad capital has become
interested in Texas, but not so much so
that it cannot be frightened out of Texas.
II there was urgent need for such regula-
ton as that of q commission no argument
should prevail sgainst it. But in the ab-
sence of such necessity it may
be doubted whether it is wise
to drive away the goose that
now seeks to deposit its golden eggs
in the state. Texas should first secure
the railroads that will destroy the one
man power, and then, when need of regu
lation comes, assume the control. The
passage of the interstate commerce bill
by Congress is guarantee that the peo-
pie are stronger than the corporations,
and should the need come in Texas
the people will be equal to the
emergen cY. The effect of q cast-lron
control of railroads by state commits
sion on further railroad building in
the state, and the possession of great
lines from the north to compete with the
ong time monopoly, is well worth the
of every member of the
Legislature. If such commission would

York Legislature shows that the Demo
Gratis are not anxious to commit them
selves as to the Presidency in 1883, while
the Republicans are divided between

ANY law that will drive the pistol out
of the hip pockets of men in Texas will
be benefit to the state. The pistol is
worn, primarily, as an advantage over
other men, and he who would take this
advantage is bad citizen and should be
punished. AS the law is enforced now
good men feel compelled to carry "guns,
as they are called, in order that they may
not be taken at disadvantage by toughs.
1t is to be hoped the law will be passed
that jails man for sixty days who goes
among peaceable people with "a gun" on
his person.

SENATOR SIaIKINs is right. Men will
pay fines for carrying "guns," but they
will soon weary OF lying in jail for
the privilege of playing the role
of "bad men" If the imprison-
ment penalty could be q graduated one,
as sixty days for the first offense,
ninety days for the second, six months
for the third and twelve months for each
subsequent ofense, it would be all the
better for society. The six-shooter has
been the coat OF arms of Texas long
enough. Let it go, and with it the bad
men who give tone to the reputation of
the state abroad.

THE day has come when it behooves
that man who is called professor to
rise and explain, particularly if he be of
a learned profession, lest ne be confound-
ed with horse-jockeys, jugglers and char
latans. Once this was title of honor,
and was hardly earned by men devoted to
the pursuit of knowledge, and who by IN
firing industry in their chosen field
had reached such heights as entitled
them to some distinguishing rank among
their fellows. Now it is different; as
every schoolhouse becomes q college, SO
the pedagogue presiding is a professor.
To cheaper a thing destroys in great
measure its desirability, and so it comes
that the title which once meant much, has
only the tinkle of sounding brass, and
can no longer inspire effort or win re-
speCt.

Lane of Marshall, accompanied by others

Mr.. Thomas of this county, while out
hunting to-day, met with quite severe
accident in attempting to shoot some
ducks on the wing. He failed to place
the breech of his gun against his Shout
der, and the gun, being very heavily
charged, kicked back over his shoulder,
the hammer catching in the corner OF his
mouth, cut its way almost to his ear and
knocking out several of his teeth, making
CHASTITY wound. Mr.. Thomas was
brought to Ballinger at once, where ply
siclans dressed his wounds, and he is now

WHY should the Western Union. relay
telegraph matter at Galveston from all
over Texas? Galveston isn't Texas, and
THE GAZETTE is made to suffer by one of
those telegraph mysteries that require
matter sent from Austin and San
Antonio to Fort Worth, to
come via Galveston and Dallas.
The excuse that matter "was laid over at
Galveston" or Dallas is, doubtless, suffi
cient with the telegraph company, but it
is growing very monotonous to THE
GAZETTE and, as liberal patron of the
Western Union, this paper appeals for
facilities and management that will tend
to build up it's business and not tear it
down. The management" that sends a
telegram from Austin TO Galveston, then
to Dallas, and then to Fort Worth, may
be telegraphy, but it is ruinous to the
business of newspapers that pay as much
money as THE GAZETTE does for tele-
graz matter.
